Graphic Design Tip: Images in Text

Last week I discovered something awesome..... clipping masks with text! That means you can have an image show through the text, very cool. And the best thing is that you don't have to have Photoshop to do it! Yep, you can download Gimp for free and follow this great tutorial I found at Gimping Along. It was easy enough for a less-than-savvy graphic designer like me.

It was so much fun that I got a little carried away.....

Another thing I discovered..... you can use this same technique on silhouette images! Cool! Check out the birds I designed.

Wow! What a fun idea. I really love the birds! Beautiful! I would love it if you would stop by and share at Lines Across. I hope to see you soon,Rachelhttp://www.linesacross.com/2012/09/the-cure-for-common-monday-55.html

Oh my gosh I love this! Why did I never think to do this? I use clipping masks all the time! Definitely pinning this and can't wait to try it. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm crossing my fingers you'll shared this at my Throwback Thursday party. I hope to see you there! And thanks for sharing :) http://www.hubbymademe.com/throwback-thursday-no-11/
